It grows in a small region in central Queensland near the Belyando River and its dark heart wood makes it suitable for smaller craft items. Little is known of the wood or the tree as they are rarely used. This rare 7 million year old Podocarp. is now extinct! It was identified, by wood experts in Australia from its microscopic characteristics of the wood, as an ancient podocarp (Cupressinoxylon sp.).

Although black, from minerals and long periods of burial, it is still woody and workable, not stone. |
